  • Click the Apple menu and select "System Preferences".
  • Select "Print & Scan" in the System Preferences menu.
  • Click and hold the "+" button at the bottom of the list of installed printers.
  • Select your network printer from the list of recent printers. If your printer does not appear in the list, you will need to download the software from the manufacturer's support site.
  • Click the Download & Install button if available. Although OS X usually comes pre-installed with the software to use the printer, sometimes your model requires additional software from Apple to be installed. If necessary, you will be asked to download the software after adding the printer.

  • Activate printer sharing on the Mac where the printer is installed. After you install the printer, you'll need to enable printer sharing so other machines can connect to it.
    • Click on the Apple menu and choose "System Preferences".
    • Click the "Sharing" option.
    • Select "Printer Sharing" to activate printer sharing.
  • Share printer. After successful activation, you want to share the printer in the same window. Check the box next to the printer just installed to share.

  • Connect to the shared printer on the Mac laptop. Now that the printer has been shared, you can connect your Mac laptop to the printer.
    • Click on the Apple menu and choose "System Preferences".
    • Click on the "Print & Scan" option.
    • Click and hold the "+" button, then select the newly installed printer.
    • Click the Download & Install button if it appears. Although OS X comes pre-installed with software that is compatible with most printer models, there is a chance your machine will require another software from Apple. If needed, you will be asked to download the software after adding the printer.
  • Print with the shared printer. After setting up the shared printer on your laptop, you can print any document you want, just like connecting the machine directly to the laptop. Don't forget to turn on the computer used to share the printer.
    • Open the Print dialog box in any program and select the shared printer from the list of available machines.
